NOTE: to save a copy of these talks on your computer instead of listening to it online ("streaming") choose the "save link as" or "save target as" option available with right mouse button when you download.

A file download manager allows download options such as resuming a stopped or aborted download, having your computer disconnect from the internet when a download is complete, etc. Consult your favorite file search engine for download managers.
About MP3: MP3 is an audio data
compression
standard which trades small losses in quality for large reduction in
file
size. The above talks, because they are voice, compress as much as
100:1,
yet there is no discernible degradation in sound quality. MP3
compression
is desirable due to space and bandwidth constraints of the internet.
Special equipment or software is required to listen
MP3 files. It appears these highly compressed MP3 files will not play
on some MP3 players which expect 44khz, stereo data format. However,
these
MP3 files should be convertable to a suitable MP3 format in a way
similar
to the "How to convert to 'normal' CD audio" below. These highly
compressed
MP3 files are intended for listening on computer using an MP3
player
such as Winamp or the Windows Media Player. Several free versions of
Winamp are available at
www.winamp.com.
The Winamp player offers many improvements over a standard CD player
and
CD for someone listening to a talk. Among it's talents, Winamp can
pause/resume,
jump to specific places in a talk, move back or forward in small or
large
increments, and adjust the volume and frequency of the audio; all
useful
features for listening to audio recordings.
